White or Black
 
I know this is really subjective, and it all depends on what I think, but I was just wondering what you guys' thoughts were on the choice between Magnetic Black and Pearl White :hello:.

If I got a white Z I would probably paint the roof black/get an overlay and definately get dark overlays for the taillights and probably go with some nice gloss black/polished lip wheels. Oh, not to mention 5% tint on all the windows besides windshield and probably a valence overlay.

If I was going to go with black I would probably do dark tint, probably not 5%, something lighter and gloss black/polished lip rims.

I know this is probably a waste of time, but I figure I would see what you guys thought about it :tup:

My G35 is black and I have to admit it looks beautiful after a wash, but unfortunately that doesn't last long. Especially after a rain...:(

Plus every single nick and rock chip is pretty noticeable up close.

And "gay white fanboys"...really? :icon08:

AK370Z 02-27-2009 02:29 AM

Def white. It was my 3rd choice (1st is mont blue and 2nd plat graph). Go to my picture albums. You'll see some great white Z pics. With the mods you've mentioned, it'll look stunning. Black is the last on my list after yellow :ugh:

bkunzi01 02-27-2009 08:44 AM

I was looking to get it in black at first. Went into a dealer and tried getting it for one price. Went to another dealer which they had the 370 in white and couldn't leave without getting it....pickin it up saturday

SMcK23 02-27-2009 08:54 AM

For me, this is what it would come down to...is it a daily driver or a garage queen/weekend car? Although no other color in the world looks as good as black on a car, it is also an impossible color to keep clean, avoid revealing chips, dents, and swirl marks! I saw a showroom '09 Z in black and the swirl marks were were already there!
I have a black car now for my DD and boy is it a pain! White hides everything and is just a classy look! So I would go with white for a DD or black for a garage queen!

inTgr8r 02-27-2009 09:14 AM

Def white, it's my 2nd choice.

RE: black roof
I was considering that, since I have it on my G.
I've done a couple of P.Chops on the 370Z & IMO it doesn't work too well.
I think its mainly due to the roof design which caps on top of the winshield,
instead of flowing up from it.

I'd definitely do an overlay wrap to see if you like it before painting

bullitt5897 02-27-2009 09:27 AM

Black so I can have one of the few White ones out there! hehehehehe :D

Ya, black is a pain to keep clean for sure, and it would be my Daily Driver :driving:

The problem with black is that you'll fit in with all the black cars out there. Seems like everyone has a black car. That lack of knowing what you want leaves you with the "safe" choice which is black.

But how many PEARL white cars do you see out there? A NICE pearl white car just GRABS your attention!

OMGWTFBBQ 02-27-2009 03:55 PM

I don't know what to say if you end up choosing black.

Welcome to Swirl City. Population.. you.

No really though. At least in SoCal, black looks good for about an hour or two after a nice wash. After that, it begins to show dust very well. Prepare to wash and detail every week to every other week.

shumby 02-27-2009 03:56 PM

black is winning

zero 02-27-2009 03:59 PM

I am going with the White.

!xoible 02-27-2009 04:05 PM

This is my $0.02, i am not hating so if you feel offended please ignore my post.

Nissan's paint is pretty soft, that's a fact. what that means, to me, is i will be having a hard time keeping swirls off that thing. black is pure sex, but swirls make the car look so damn ghetto. if u have free time and u love polishing every few weeks or couple of months then go for it. i would do it if i can afford 8 hours for polishing + have a garage to put the car in.

if you cannot do that then white or silver is the way to go

par4bmw 02-27-2009 04:06 PM

Black.

But that is coming from someone that really is not much of a white car fan. Especially since it seems like 50% of the cars here in Phx are white. Not really that high but it is by far the prominent color of newly released cars here.

shumby 02-27-2009 05:04 PM

damn it white pulled into the lead.

Crash 02-27-2009 05:06 PM

^^^ And it would on the streets too! :D (It's a fact that white Zs are MUCH faster than black Zs.)

nogoodname 02-27-2009 05:07 PM

white will win but in reality, Black is FTW


i proved it.....lol...i got the evidence to back me up...unless it got tampered

StLRedrider 02-27-2009 06:01 PM

I ordered red, my second choice would be white with a nice set of black wheels.

brisk 02-27-2009 07:01 PM

Get white with persimmon interior. :icon18:

hey32g 03-03-2009 09:18 PM

My 335i is black, it's my fifth and LAST black car. Yeah it's beautiful for the 15 minutes that it's clean, after that the nightmare starts all over again.

Mine will be Pearl White! No question.

Supergoji 03-03-2009 09:31 PM

my Z is black, my Bike was black, your Z must be black.

Black G37 Black Maxima and soon to have a Black Z

ltp 03-04-2009 10:22 AM

Black if you keep your car clean.
Otherwise white.
Mine is black - wash it every two weeks.

GT Motoring 03-05-2009 11:02 AM

White!

The Weapon 03-05-2009 11:16 AM

I came from a White 350Z and Decided to go with a Black 370Z. The white 370Z looked too close like my white 350Z and needed something to remind me that i got a new car. Besides I love the Persimmon Leather and I think it only looks good on the black.

bkunzi01 03-05-2009 11:46 AM

I went to buy the 370 in black and when I saw it next to the white I completely flipped my decision and went with white...if that doesn't say much what does
